People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

After a long while.

Zhao Ji leaned against Cao Ze's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and whispered, "Sir, I'm pregnant."

"Ah."

"Ok?"

Cao Ze jolted awake, immediately straightened up, and stared wide-eyed at Zhao Ji in his arms.

What did you say?

Is she pregnant?

I'm fucking...

We can't joke like that!

Cao Ze suppressed his shock and joked, "Empress Dowager, we've only been together a few times. It's not like she got pregnant so easily."

He felt that Zhao Ji was bluffing him and playing a trick on him; she was capable of doing such a thing.

Zhao Ji remained silent, supporting herself on Cao Ze's chest as she sat upright.

Just as Cao Ze thought Zhao Ji was about to say something, Zhao Ji twisted her body, which he had made uncomfortable, and got up, putting on a loose-fitting casual outfit.

Some of their clothes were disheveled, revealing large expanses of their fair, snow-white skin, which shimmered under the indoor lights.

Cao Ze calmed down and quietly admired the beautiful woman in front of him. The woman was indeed beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry lips, full breasts, a slender waist, and peach-shaped buttocks.

Like a ripe apple, it is crisp, tender, and juicy.

Zhao Ji knelt down in front of the dressing mirror.

She first carefully tidied her hair, which was damp with sweat, then applied a light layer of makeup, sketching out delicate eyebrows. With a slight pursing of her lips, her pink lips turned rosy red.

Finally, Zhao Ji took out an exquisite phoenix hairpin from her dressing case and casually styled it into a beautiful bun.

Since becoming the principal wife, then the queen, and finally the empress dowager, she rarely dresses up herself anymore; her maids take care of it.

But that doesn't mean she wouldn't. Back in Handan, she suffered a lot, so she's not detached from worldly affairs.

Zhao Ji's unusual behavior all indicated that her words were not unintentional.

Cao Ze watched Zhao Ji walk towards him step by step and said with a wry smile, "Empress Dowager, could she really be pregnant?"

Zhao Ji sat down next to Cao Ze and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't you believe me?"

"I believe you..." Cao Ze said helplessly, "But you still want to make love to me, really..."

He never expected that Zhao Ji would actually get pregnant, and so quickly!

He thought it would take at least a year or two to resolve.

After all, there aren't many girls as lucky as Jing Ni who can get a kill on the first try.

Zhao Ji yawned and said with a smile, "Why are you saying all this? It's what I want."

"Well, since you say you want to give birth, then I will give birth to the child right here."

Cao Ze grinned, now he knew why Zhao Ji had run here.

Damn, she's actually here to give birth in order to avoid being seen.

Zhao Ji said, "Also, find me a trustworthy physician and a midwife. I cannot use the imperial physicians or old women in the palace, do you understand?"

Cao Ze readily agreed; he had no choice but to agree.

He was worried about Zhao Ji's pregnancy and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go out and find someone to come and check on you."

Zhao Ji glanced at the dim sky, frowned, and said, "It's getting late, let's do it another day."

Cao Ze shook his head repeatedly: "No, I'm not at ease with that."

As he spoke, Cao Ze put on his clothes.

A smile spread across Zhao Ji's beautiful face.

"Alright, I'll wait for you here, sir."

Cao Ze hurriedly walked out of the pavilion.

Zhao Gao waited outside the whole time and did not leave.

Seeing Cao Ze's hurried expression, he asked in surprise, "Sir, what's wrong...?"

Cao Ze waved his hand, "I'll be back in a bit. You stay here and keep watch."

Zhao Gao was inwardly suspicious, but outwardly said, "Alright, we'll wait."

After leaving the unnamed mansion, Cao Ze felt a chilly autumn wind blow and cleared his mind.

Zhao Ji is such a fool, she really screwed us over!

What's the point of waiting to give birth in this mansion?

Being so close to the palace, Ying Zheng could find it in no time if he wanted to.

Even if you can hide it for a while, there are still several months to go. Is it really that easy to hide it?

With this thought in mind, Cao Ze used his movement technique to quickly return to his own residence.

The mansion was very quiet at this time.

Upon entering, Cao Ze first encountered the Black and White Sisters practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

"Where is Li Wu?"

As his personal midwife, Li Wu was someone he trusted. Having delivered so many children, she had plenty of ways to assess Zhao Ji's current condition.

The charming younger sister said, "Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji are chatting in Jing Ni's house."

Cao Ze nodded and quickly went to Jing Ni's room.

"Sir seems to be in a great hurry?" Bai asked in surprise.

The younger sister waved: "Sister, let's go take a look together."

"okay."

The sisters had lived in Cao Ze's house for a long time and were already quite familiar with Li Wuyan, Ling Ji, and Jing Ni.

Cao Ze entered the room and saw Li Wu chatting and laughing with Jing Ni. He said, "Li Wu, come with me."

Li Wu was taken aback. "Where are you going?"

Cao Ze said, "Stop asking so many questions, hurry up."

Li Wu stood up and said, "So urgent?"

Cao Ze grabbed Li Wu's hand. "They are indeed in a hurry."

As they left the house, they ran into the black and white sisters who had come together.

The black-and-white sisters looked at each other in bewilderment as the two ran out.

Inside the house, Jingni and Yanlingji looked at each other in bewilderment.

Holding Xiao Yan'er, Yan Lingji whispered with her alluring little mouth, "Why are you in such a hurry to find Li Wu to go out? Could it be that some woman outside is pregnant?"

The Black and White Sisters entered the room at this moment, and upon hearing Yan Lingji's mutterings, both of them showed strange expressions.

That's quite possible. The gentleman was in such a hurry to find Li Wu; Li Wu can deliver babies...

A strange light flashed in Jingni's beautiful eyes.

She coughed lightly, took the sleeping Xiao Yan'er from Yan Lingji's hands, and said calmly, "Who cares?"

Yan Lingji: "..."

Black and White Sisters: "..."

Chapter 512 The Way of the Concubine

When Cao Ze led Li Wu to the nameless mansion, Zhao Gao's pupils contracted.

"gentlemen!"

Zhao Gao frantically gave Cao Ze meaningful glances.

Who is Li Wu? Of course he knows.

She was originally a member of the Eight Linglong of the Luo Wang, and later became a concubine in Cao Ze's household.

Of course, these are all minor matters.

The Empress Dowager didn't care, and he cared even less about how many beauties Cao Ze had slept with or how many concubines he had taken.

But what was Cao Ze planning to do by bringing his concubine to the Empress Dowager's place at this time?

Do you think you've lived too long?

Cao Ze waved his hand, "Brother Zhao, no need to say anything more, it's alright."

Zhao Gao's expression kept changing, and his originally effeminate face almost turned ferocious.

You're definitely going to be fine!

But you are my concubine!

But I, Lao Zhao!

But you're about to take on a very important task!

He didn't care whether Li Wu was alive or dead.

But what was his job? He was the lookout.

As a result, Cao Ze brought his concubine in.

Empress Dowager Zhao Ji will surely tear him to pieces.

Suppressing his excitement, Zhao Gao lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Cao Ze! The Empress Dowager knows her. You must not play with fire."

Cao Ze impatiently pushed Zhao Gao aside: "What are you playing with fire for? I have urgent business."
